The Michigan State Police, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration and other local law enforcement agencies, has announced April 27 as its annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.

The service, which provides a way for the public to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a news release. The service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

Lenawee County residents can drop off unwanted medications to the Monroe Post, at 300 Jones Avenue in Monroe, for disposal. Those living in Hillsdale and Jackson counties can stop by the Jackson post at 3401 Cooper St. in Jackson.

No liquids, inhalers, patches or syringes will be accepted.

Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the Michigan State Police, said in a statement the Take-Back initiatives are an important and confidential way to get rid of unused drugs and to keep people safe.

“Take-Back Day provides a convenient way for them to do so and helps prevent potential hazards of the misuse of these medications,” she said.
